I offer this feedback with the utmost respect for Farnam Street and Shane Parrish:

1. Loss is mentioned a lot but not mentioned is linking the asymmetric movement of trust to the cognitive bias of loss aversion.

2. Aside from Putnam, another take worth mentioning is Steven M. R. Covey's The Speed of Trust which speaks to the link of trust to performance within organizations.

3. The interface, boundary or contract is a common method of encapsulating trust. For example, since ancient times people have used "silent trade" in which trade goods are placed in the open and left behind. This requires a significant but finite amount of trust, minimal amount of social cohesion and provides a great deal of communication.

What is the benefit of smaller transistors? Serious question. Why does it matter if I have 7nm vs. 5nm vs. anything else?
Aftermarket in old fridge doors. Unless they put DRM in to stop the compressor from running I'm not sure how they'd prevent it.
What I don't like about article like these, is they never say when is enough, enough. If my 15 year old is still dumping milk on the floor and laughing surely the "Model Graciousness" phase has ended.

Also not covered is what makes "a spoiled brat". In my experience, both as a child and adult, it seems the "spoiled brats" are the children that have little to no boundaries and are allowed to do whatever they want even if there parents are present, and display helpful properties.

I considered my self a pretty forgiving parent, but in my opinion a parent who is not in control of their children at least to a degree where they can be pleasant to strangers in public(what if they dump milk on a stranger in public and laugh?), is not a good parent and their children struggle from a lack of structure.
One must think about seagulls and how they effortlessly stay airborne for hours. Every single feather has nerve endings and muscles for optimal aerodynamical performance.

Also Neal Stephenson describes how a wingwoman departs from a space station in orbit and lands on terra firma and goes back only utilizing air currents. Totally believable me thinks.
Even better, a carbon tax would create a market for solutions of getting rid of CO2 in a cheaper way than the tax. Finally an incentive to put all that awesome entrepreneurial creativity that gave us all the benefits we are enjoying every day to work on saving the planet. Win-win...
I run the production for a livestream and I use a Sony a6400 with a 50mm f1.4 plus a Shure SM7B. IMO this is about as high quality as you should go without real studio soundproofing and lighting. I chose the a6400 because it's not crazy expensive and has some of the best/fastest autofocus around, which is extremely important when you can't touch the camera. Here's a list anyways, though:

Mandatory: Ring light and/or cheap amazon LED panels, proper placement and setup of lighting+mic+cam. Minor attempts at soundproofing are also encouraged.

Low end: Logitech c920, random USB mic from Amazon

Mid end: Sony a6000* (up to a6400* OK) with kit lens (or go body only and get a vintage manual lens for cheap), Shure SM7B (or Rode NT1/NT1-A). Blue Yetis are also okay but require moderate soundproofing. If you're getting a mic better than a Blue Yeti, you should also get mixing equipment of some sort. You can also just stick with a cheap microphone at this level as long as it doesn't sound awful.

High end: Blackmagic pocket cinema*, Shure SM7B

Highest end: Hire a production company, this is the big leagues now

* = Requires capture card

For lighting setups, soundproofing, and optimal cam+mic usage, you can maybe check out YouTube in order to learn a bit. You will probably need more than is just on this list, but this is just the bare minimum.
I don't know how they make money...
Does anyone on HN actually LIKE taboos/outbrain recommendations? I hide them with ublock origin and completely ignore the ones that slip through.
It's utterly untrue. reCaptcha gives you a score of "humanness", and you can decide to allow or deny an action. There's no way to get an ID from it.
That didn't happen last time?

The USA actually dealt with a similar situation just over 100 years ago in 1918, and people did similar things, and the USA came through just fine as a nation (albeit 600000 citizens lighter :-( ) .
Good thing hand counting can be (and is) used with the Dominion voting machines to verify the electronic result, then.
You can set DNS on newer android because it is meaningless.

Now that *no* app uses the OS dns anymore, but the HTTPS one, you can change it at will. Go fiddle with your useless settings :(
Now you get to listen to ads for 15mn instead if 2!
> I don't believe there's anything you can do in C++ that you can't do in Rust.

I think you'll have to make "can do" more precise for this question to have a meaningful answer. All mentioned languages are Turing complete and thus equivalent on that level.

> you can't access raw memory.

I can wrap a file in a ByteBuffer in java and the JVM will (make a best effort to) perform native I/O on that. Does that pass as "access raw memory"? If not, you'd have to explain how this is different from the abstract machine that C++ is defined on.

Sure, in Java you can't escape the garbage collector, but in C++ you also formally invoke UB if you violate the object lifetime requirements (even though will generally work due to this part of the standard still being... work in progress, let's say).
Large systems aren’t inherently low-trust though. For example dealing with the same point of contact. Like your local GP in the NHS. I definitely remember home visits from our GP as a kid. So within a generation. Or with our kids family nurse that did all the pre and post checkups for both children.
This is why I've never much loved blockchain on a conceptual level.

Even if you can make existing transactions trustless, you need more and more new transactions to negotiate the boundary between the physical world and the data on the blockchain.
I got to learn more about limits of UI on Blazor. I am more concerned of introducing a wrong technology in my app.
Electric planes where used have already shown to be significantly cheaper to operate. Even if you need more overall energy, as electricity is cheaper then fuel, that is not necessary a problem.

Also, I think people really need to think about this some more and not just look at first order effects.

ery reductionist analysis.

- Electric engines are far more efficient.

- Electric engines have a significantly better trust-to-weight ratio.

- Lighter engines mean less structural load

- Batteries can be structural components, not just dead weight, unlike fuel

- Potentially you can use gravity to recharge the battery

- Electric engines have efficiency that stays the same, not optimized for one altitude

- Electric engines can go higher and use less air resistant

To achieve all of this you need to completely re-engineer planes and that is very expensive and batteries are only just getting close to the required power. The necessary investment to completely redesign plans to take advantage of these has not been made.

If you look at Alice plain for example, they have taken advantage of some of these things I mention. They were able to get away with thin wings. However they still don't exploit many of these things as they are just an integration company. Their plane carries the battery like cargo, rather then having the battery be structural.
I do something like this too except the aliases are manually created. I went one step further and made an optional learning period for addresses so anything from a previously unseen sender address after x days is dropped. I also added an optional lifespan to the address so it is only valid for Y days.
The upside of mistrust is an increase in intelligence gathering and seeking. Evolution favors those that can figure out motivation. Gossip while hugely inefficient plays a huge part of everyday life and motivation.
Chrome’s “Privacy Sandbox” mentioned in the article will limit JavaScript’s access to APIs that expose fingerprinting entropy. Thus publishers will feel pressure to use Google’s advertising services and Chrome’s FLoC because other ad networks won’t monetize as well since they can’t use third-party cookies or fingerprinting in Chrome.
This affiliate spam in the programming community is getting ridiculous.
At this point that is such a common tactic that I would imagine many bots already account for that.
Smaller distance -> lower resistance -> less heat -> higher clocks/more stuff per clock allowed with same amount of heat produced -> higher performance.
I assume most people on HN have some control over their professional lives. Part of the sibling comment's response is that part of their motivation is "enormous consulting fees", for example. There is a calculus there for weighing how annoying the world you choose is vs. how well it remunerates you.
I think this might work when trying to teach your child a new/correct behavior vs getting them to stop/cease a bad behavior (biting, purposely getting milk from the fridge to explicitly dump on the floor). In my experience for kids under 4, the latter often does require repeatedly forcing them through the motions of cleaning it up. Pick your battles of course and consider underlying factors like if they're hungry or tired.
The problem is that most ads are for shitty products you don't need and those crowd out the ads for the few non-shitty products that makes your life better.
Personally, I am not in a position to be cognizant of all the solution options and their considerations. I did not intend to imply that current solution was inappropriate, but only express my feelings towards the current in the face of likely alternatives. In regards to an evaporation pool, it too has risks such as the heavy metal salts being turned into dust and blown across the land if not contained and managed.
Ergatta is a great alternative but different. From a hardware standpoint they don't have variable resistance. Our electronically controlled resistance adds up to 100+ lbs of force. Our high-intensity content, which differentiates us, requires this and the reason why we opted to build our own rower. When it comes to content, Ergatta has gamified workouts, whereas we have actual video games like Brick Breaker, races against Olympic athletes, guided strength programs that automatically adjust the resistance and let you use the rower for more than just rowing; like bicep curls and dips.
> Filling up your car with gas? Fill your mind with ads while you do it!

Shell gas stations already do this where I live. There is an LCD panel with blaring audio above the pumps.

I no longer buy Shell gas.
The hacker part of this website would investigate taking the LCD screen out, and repurposing it. We all know that DIY robot that goes to the fridge to bring you a snack will need some sort of LCD screen to act as an interface for you to choose the snack. It's not like we're going to use an iPad for that. We're too busy putting those in our cars.
It gets super awkward when you have to read the email aloud. My optometrist spent five minutes trying to explain that they wanted my email when they tried to transfer a prescription from Warby Parker.

"My email/username for Warby Parker is 'warbyparker.com@...'"

"No, they need your email, not theirs."

> those proxies are the sole source of truth, which makes gaming them more important than actually being productive.

Reminds me of a short story I read, which I can't find now. The gist of it was about this person reading a memo or something at work on their computer, and the person wasn't actually reading it, they were just scrolling down the page and occasionally scrolling back up to pretend to re-read paragraphs because they knew the monitoring software flags such behavior as a positive indicator that the reader has increased comprehension of the memo.
Outside of major cities in the US, it's enough to live comfortably alone. I made a little less than that when I lived in the Midwest, and it was enough to buy a $125,000 duplex (mortgage came out to ~25% of my monthly wages), pay the bills, and still go out and have fun a couple nights a week. I made retirement contributions, but I wasn't maxing out my 401k contributions or anything.

I would say for much of the US, that's about where life becomes comfortable if you're single (can't comment on with kids, I've never done a budget with them). Bills aren't a worry if you don't make poorly planned large purchases, you can afford a decent place to live, and you've got some money left over at the end of the month to save or work on a hobby or whatever.

This is obviously not true in the hot cities, though. I think $75k is under the poverty line if you have children in the Bay Area.
Audio / bluetooth on macs is currently a total disaster. My newer macs - mainly a 2019 15" - have some truly bizarre behaviors around these. One example is that if I switch 3.5mm audio cables too quickly it starts routing audio to my HDMI monitor instead. Macs still can't control the volume of HDMI audio out so that means I get hit with a max volume blast. I have to detach one cable, wait 60 seconds, and attach the other to avoid this.

Like the author describes, activating the mic on bluetooth headsets on my mac - airpods or 3rd party - brings the audio bitrate down to a quality comparable to AM radio. Strangely, I can use the airpods to make calls on my Android phone with little issue.

Audio aside, I routinely encounter bluetooth devices that just won't work with my mac. For example keyboards that send just a few keystrokes then bug out or mice that lag and teleport all over the screen.

The most infuriating part is that I can attach a USB bluetooth adapter and use it instead of the builtin mac one and all of these problems go away. But am I going to carry around a port adapter and a dongle so I can use a feature that I paid for in my laptop anyway? As if. Furthermore none of these accessories have trouble with other computers - even older macs!

I'm not surprised. These new variants started taking over months ago before many people were vaccinated, so there was no pressure to adapt to the vaccines.

My theory is that what they are adapting to is all the other mitigation measures that we've been doing for a while--think masks and social distancing.
I get it. This it the most common question we are asked. A huge part of our experience is the electronically controlled resistance that adds up to 100+ lbs of force. Our high-intensity games and strength content, which differentiates us, requires this and the reason why we opted to build our own rower.
Children really do thrive on boundaries, and sometimes the only way to establish those is with force (take their hand and make them clean it up) or other punishments.

Email is the least resistance, it doesn't matter. It doesn't provide the cards required to start the trial (prepaids not allowed)
Exactly :)
We are a Canadian company.
The problem is that we have to share the same air at the laundromat and the grocery.

I also wouldn't want to live somewhere with a high rate of drunk driving for similar reasons. Someone else's cultural comfort with getting behind the wheel while sloshed puts me at risk because we unavoidably share the same physical space.
NPR is junk! Just because we see black men getting shot by police on MSM does not make it a fact. More white men are killed by police than blacks.

Is anyone saying anything about the daily deaths in Chicago, or how their is alot of black on black crime? Some say black on black crime does not exists.

No mention of FBI stats showing white men are killed more by police than blacks.

I see what you mean, and when it comes to institutions and government, we are also very trusting.
We will also have AR glasses that automatically cover all screens around you with a color or your own photos.

Of course these glasses can be free: for the glasses to project other ads on those screens ;-)
Excluding sole traders and cooperatives (and sometimes even including those, as the easiest way to lose friends is said to be to go into business together), it is entirely natural for the company and coworkers not to trust each other, not fully, as the goals and incentives of the company are not the same as goals and incentives of the employees. Your goal isn't likely to be to subordinate your life entirely to what the company wants, in a cult-like manner, with no regard for any other priorities like family, friends or personal growth - thus at the very least the kernel of mistrust always remains.

Some companies just manage to mask it better or tone it down to a level that if felt to be acceptable.
This made me laugh, and you're not wrong exactly, but I will note that "flock" is also used for birds, and birds are frequently used as a metaphor for freedom just as much as sheep are used as a metaphor for mindless group-following behaviour.

Either way, I wouldn't read too much into it.
That's nice and convenient, Mozilla, but Firefox the browser is an essential piece of software at this point. How about focusing your precious cash on that?
You buy some cheap domain for this purpose. Certain TLDs go for real cheap (~$2/year).
You can use the web logged out but you can’t escape Google trying to convince me I’m from India.
You don't need Deskreen, you can extend your Windows desktop to a second screen on any device easily by using: Zonescreen (https://zoneos.com/zonescreen/) or TightVNC with DFMirage Driver (https://www.tightvnc.com/download.php). For an in-browser VNC client there are: noVNC (https://novnc.com/) or Apache Guacamole (https://guacamole.apache.org/) or ThinVNC (https://sourceforge.net/projects/thinvnc/). As you can see, there are already many solutions for this use case. I also have made a VNC-like remote screen using Kindle 3 (https://github.com/niutech/kindle-vnc).
"In the six decades from 1950 to 2010, the U.S. population had increased from 157.8 million to 312.2 million"

He delayed publication for years (in the proverbial desk drawer) while he attempted to develop a positive and politically acceptable spin on the results (self censorship). He is also probably one of the top ten most prestiguous living social scientists. Consider the incentives of researchers with less accumulated social capital who are far easier to attack for their findings.
"unsafety" is a very overloaded term. In this context, one specific technical meaning is assumed: _memory safety_ [0] (not type safety, not safety from hacking, etc, although they do depend on memory safety).

Programming languages are tools for building abstractions and concrete implementation of abstractions. They are very rarely verified and described mathematically and exhaustively; it is possible to state some properties of some programs, but it is mathematically impossible to state any meaningful property for an arbitrary program [1].

However, it is possible to constrain used abstractions in a way that allows to uphold some properties (to some degree). Memory safety of a language means that a program in that language can change a variable/state if and only if it "touches" it semantically (e.g. via a valid pointer/reference). A memory-safe language creates a reliable "abstraction cage" for (almost) any program written in it that guarantees (but not necessarily mathematically) that unrelated variables cannot be changed. "Glitches in the Matrix" (changing one variable magically changes a random other one) are still possible, but very rare in practice. Examples: Java/Python (which incur significant inefficiency when executing a program), and recently (the safe part of) Rust, which often comes very close to C/C++ in efficiency while retaining memory safety in most of its code.

C/C++ are examples of memory unsafe languages: their memory abstractions are not even close to an "abstraction cage"/"Matrix", they are just thin "guardrails" and guides, not enforceable rules: it is easy to read/corrupt an unrelated variable in a program (sometimes even via a malicious input to a program). This design choice was semi-deliberate: C/C++ solve the task of programming existing computer hardware efficiently and nobody knew how to create a practical, efficient and memory-safe systems programming language even twenty years ago. It is possible for a coder to code "defensively", using empirical best practices and tools for reducing possibility of using program memory incorrectly. C++ has a subset and tooling that comes tantalizingly close to memory safety, but it is still a costly uphill battle and even the best C/C++ coders/organizations fail to avoid memory misuse.

> hating on React

What do you call it when someone claims changes to the definition of "idiomatic" usage is the same as being not backwards compatible, incorrectly? I calmly corrected the incorrect statement. There is no flamewar here, but criticizing something incorrectly because of personal bias and lack of knowledge is more or less "hating" in a nutshell

> How can you "promise" this?

Because I am a pro web dev who has made a ton of apps and understands the difference in power between HTML templates and JS components? There are objective standards of user experience and for anything non-trivial a web application is clearly going to be more interactive and deliver the data and workflows in a more user-friendly way. Reporting, workflows, interactivity, visualizations, all are much better when they're done interactively with JavaScript than delivered as some static asset to the browser.
Voting by hand takes days, which is why it is only done automatically for close elections.

However, a losing candidate may request a recount after the election. In most states, if the margin is outside of a stated threshold, that candidate must pay for the recount. If there is a discrepancy between the two counts, then a hand recount is performed.

If an election isn't close, then the respective Secretary of State will audit (by hand) a random selection of precincts to verify vote totals match, but this is a security check and generally takes place weeks after the election.
I think facts, truth, unity, etc, are fundamental building blocks of our perception of reality, not reality itself. That doesn’t make truths or facts invalid. We all share some common perception of the universe, at a very low, fundamental level. I believe knowledge can be built on that foundation.

You could stand there and be the captive audience you complain about, or you could choose to do something more productive with your life. Take the time it takes to fill up your tank to clean the windows, check the oil level in your car, check the air pressure in your tires, or just inspect the tires for wear patterns, etc.
Please, share one. That's be interesting.

Twitter is certainly the worst medium for this. Wikipedia is much better and has the merit of being easy to find, but I am sure that there are even better sources for most topics.
Most pumps around here will mute the sound by pressing the right button, second from the top, beside the screen. Some pumps require a different button to mute so I just spam all the buttons around the screen if at a new station. They are incredibly loud and obnoxious sometimes.
